The 2008 Toyota Sienna is a minivan that performs with extra-smooth idling, increased torque and power, all the while driving more fuel efficiently. This popular minivan can seat seven to eight passengers and can haul them in relative quick time. It uses an engine with the same configuration as used in this year’s Highlander and Lexus Hybrid SUVs. All the models are equipped with a 3.5-liter, V6, 266-horsepower machine that gives 19-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. This engine is equipped with a 5-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive with intelligence (ECT-i). This automatic transmission is standard on all models. This engine reaches its peak torque from the start, enhancing the amount of power required for an overwhelming driving experience. Two years ago this engine replaced the smaller 3.3-liter, 215-horsepower V-6 that can be found in the Camry Solara nameplate. With this powerful engine, the Toyota Sienna minivan proves to be long lasting if maintained properly. So for buying the new Toyota Sienna the engine also makes an important aspect for consideration.
